Lars V. Andersen

Lars V. Andersen was born in 1980 in Hjørring, Denmark. He creates photographically scenery, where the starting point is the darkness in the human mind, the darkness in himself, how he views society, the contemporary world and the world we all live in.

“Anxiety and a dark mind are often the theme or inspiration behind my art. This comes from a life where I am long and still challenged by these things. Through my pictures, I talk openly about my own challenges. I hope that people with similar difficulties can relate to my photos, and would love to use them to talk openly about their own challenges, as part of their process of getting better.

I myself have experienced that opening up about my challenges can be the starting point for getting better. I believe that you can use the darkness to find light in your life. I want to pass that on with my pictures.”
